Body Active Consultancy

Testimonials:

"Over the past 6 years I have been aware of and utilised Body Active Consultancy's (BAC) services to assist with improving the health of employees on major construction projects and operating environments in the Oil & Gas industry.

This has involved the implementation of a comprehensive Work Force Health Management Program with Transfield Worley JV at the Karratha Gas Plant whilst also observing the injury reduction strategies regarding musculo-skeletal injuries on construction, eg. Phase IV and V LNG Expansion Projects.

The programs introduced by BAC provided a reduction in injuries, improved morale and provided a general health benefit for employees.

Mark Armstrong has the knowledge, passion and commitment to make these programs work where others couldn't. He has a great team supporting him and I have found BAC to be a professional, discreet and reliable provider of health services.

I would recommend BAC to other clients."

"I first worked with Mark Armstrong and Body Active Consultancy in late 2003. A program BAC had run on a major LNG project in north-western Western Australia was showing some great results in terms of employee participation, improvement in employee health and a reduced incidence of accidents and injuries.

Mark brought the Industrial Athlete Program to Transfield Worley and the program gave our employees the opportunity to make choices in terms of their general health, their preparation for work and how to maintain their fitness by making changes in their working environment.

Mark and his team became a key component of the Transfield Worley thrust on improving the health and safety of their employees, which contributed to the lowest ever number of recordable incidents in TW's ten year history. Additionally there was a discernable lift to employee morale and clear evidence that the development and learning of employees were getting at work was moving home to their families and friends.

The relationship with BAC is maintained to this day."

"I originally injured my shoulder some years ago in a bicycle accident. I meet Mark Armstrong from Body Active Consultancy for the first time whilst working fly in fly out. Mark assessed my shoulder and recommended a MRI scan from there it was discovered a torn subscapularis tendon Marks job was to assist me with the rehabilitation of my shoulder before and after surgery with Mark's help I was able to return to work in a very short period of time. Since that time we have developed a professional relationship over the past 8 years in the area of occupational safety and health particularly in fly in fly out mining operations.

Mark and his team at Body Active Consultancy have been responsible for designing customised work force health management programs for Barminco, facilitating, reviewing and measuring these initiatives, at multiple sites throughout Western Australia which is anticipated to spread to the rest of Australia.

Body Active offers a pro-active service built on quality of service delivery along with understanding our clients needs resulting in great program results at each site where a program is implemented.

I look forward to working with Mark and the BAC team in the future and obtaining the ongoing success with each program that is put into place for the Barminco organisation."

"Sandvik has built up a successful collaboration with Body Active Consultancy over the past 3 years which began with their operations in Port Hedland in 2005.

In that time, a number of sites have implemented customised work force health management programs aimed at two principal areas: manual handling, sprain and strain reduction and/or health and well being. As a consequence of these programs along with ongoing safety interventions, these Sandvik sites have demonstrated consistent improvements in reducing the number of manual handling, sprain and strain injury statistics and improving the workforce health and wellbeing.

Mark and the team at Body Active Consultancy are willing to back their expertise and when asked to provide solutions or work on a project that has the potential to improve the OH&S on a site, they are always enthusiastic and full of potential ideas. Importantly, the BAC team are open to collaborative improvements with Sandvik, and operate professionally in a client/ consultant/ contractor environment.

I would happily recommend BAC to other clients who are requiring innovation in the manual handling, sprain and strain area.

I look forward to maintaining a close working relationship with BAC now and into the future."
